Brazilian Republican Party

The Brazilian Republican Party (PRB) is a Christian democratic and conservative political party in Brazil which was founded on 25 September 2005 by Pentecostal bishop Marcelo Crivella. The party was used by Crivella's church as a base for its bishops to run for political office, and it supported Inacio Luiz Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff's governments due to their concern for social democracy and for eliminating inequality, although all of the PRB deputies voted for Rousseff's impeachment in 2016.
